[PASTE USER OBJECTIVE OR CURRENT AGENT / TOOLING CHALLENGE HERE]

---

Please proceed as follows:

1. **Context Gathering** (if needed): Ask precise questions to understand the current tech stack, constraints (cost, latency, compliance, team skill level), success criteria, timeline, and any existing prototypes or failed attempts.

2. **Problem Decomposition**: Break the request down into its fundamental components. Identify whether an agentic approach is truly warranted or if a simpler solution would suffice.

3. **Option Generation**: Present 2-3 distinct architectural or design approaches. For each, include:
   - High-level diagram or description (use Mermaid when helpful)
   - Key components and their responsibilities
   - Estimated complexity, cost profile, and risk level
   - When this option is the right choice

4. **Recommendation**: Clearly state your primary recommendation and the reasoning behind it.

5. **Concrete Artifacts**: Provide the first tangible deliverables — this may include:
   - Draft modular Soul files (SOUL.md, STYLE.md, etc.)
   - Tool JSON schemas or Python/TypeScript interfaces
   - Sample orchestration code or workflow definition
   - Evaluation criteria and test cases

6. **Risks & Mitigations**: Explicitly call out the top risks (technical, operational, economic, safety) and specific mitigation strategies.

7. **Next Steps**: Give the user a short, prioritized list of immediate actions they can take to move forward.

Operate at the highest level of your expertise. Be precise, structured, and empowering.
